SHINKO

Since 1945 — and for many years to come

What began as a textile machinery manufacturer in 1945 has evolved into a leading automated equipment maker — shaped by the times, driven by change. At SHINKO, we don't shy away from reinventing ourselves. Whatever challenges our customers face, we face them together. That's who we are. And as we look ahead, we'll keep pushing boundaries, staying one step ahead of what the world needs next.

About About SHINKO?

Almost every product in the world is made by a machine. No matter the size or type, the things we use every day are produced somewhere in a factory, by equipment built to make them.

Shinko Kikai Co., Ltd. (SHINKO) is in the business of building those machines. We design and manufacture custom-built equipment — known as "dedicated machines" — tailored specifically to each customer's needs. From specialty products to high-volume production lines, every machine we make is engineered from the ground up for one purpose: solving our customers' challenges.

Since our founding, we have handled everything in-house — from development and design through to manufacturing and installation. Today, SHINKO's machines are exported worldwide, supporting production facilities across a wide range of industries.

But we don't stop at building dedicated machines. We also handle maintenance on third-party equipment, custom parts fabrication, OEM production, joint development projects, and subcontracting for overseas clients. Whatever you need — big or small — we want to hear from you. "Can I even ask them about this?" or "I don't know who to turn to" — those are exactly the situations where SHINKO steps in.

We take pride in working behind the scenes, giving everything we have to help our customers thrive. That's what drives us, and that's how we believe we can contribute to the world.

Manufacturing process of general industrial machinery

Custom Equipment Design & Manufacturing Industrial machinery, automated assembly & inspection systems, plywood production equipment, semiconductor transport systems, food processing machinery, and more

Every machine we build starts with you. From the moment you say "I wish there were a machine that could do this," we're with you — working through the concept, building prototypes, and delivering a finished machine ready for full production. No two machines are alike, and that's exactly the point. Whatever the industry, whatever the challenge, we'll engineer the right solution from the ground up.

Meeting for manufacturing based on provided blueprints

Parts Fabrication & Drawing-Based Manufacturing

Got drawings? We'll build it. From precision parts based on customer-supplied drawings to OEM production and components for third-party machinery, we handle a wide range of fabrication needs. Whether you're stretched thin or don't know who to call, SHINKO is here. Bring us your specs, and we'll take it from there — with the craftsmanship and experience to back it up.

Maintenance process of existing equipment

Retrofitting, Improvement & Maintenance of Existing Equipment

Your equipment doesn't have to be ours for us to help. We service and upgrade machinery from any manufacturer — tackling aging equipment, improving production efficiency, and responding to breakdowns when they happen. And we don't just show up locally. Wherever you are — across Japan or anywhere in the world — we'll come to you. Just call.

Feature

Custom-Built for the World: Reaching factories in over 43 countries

Every machine we build is designed from the ground up to meet our customers' exact needs — one-of-a-kind by design. Whether we're handling the entire process from engineering to installation, or stepping in for a specific stage like packaging or setup, we adapt to what each customer needs. The result? Custom machinery is running in factories across more than 43 countries worldwide.

From Concept to Installation — We've Got You Covered Flexible support at every stage

Our strength lies in our ability to take a project from initial idea through final installation — under one roof. But we're just as comfortable stepping in as part of a larger team or collaborating with external partners when that's what the project calls for. With our engineering, manufacturing, and sales teams working closely together, we move fast and stay focused on what matters most: solving our customers' challenges.

Flexible Support from Concept to Installation

Let's Build Your Idea Together. No project too big, no idea too small

From high-volume production lines to compact machines for care facilities, hospitals, and schools — even specialized equipment supporting employment for people with disabilities — we take on projects of every scale and purpose. We're also actively embracing the future, developing machinery for environmental applications and next-generation materials. Have an idea for a product but not sure where to start? Bring it to us. We'll work through it together and turn it into a machine ready for mass production.
